​Province II Synod
Proposed Resolution submitted by Paul Ambos
Resolution 2024-3
Correction of Citation in Ordinances

Be it resolved, That The International Atlantic Province – the Second Province of The Episcopal Church – amend Ordinance III, Section 10 of the Ordinances of the Second Province to read as follows (insertions shown by underline, deletions by strikethrough):
There shall be a Committee on Resolutions.  Such committee shall arrange and report on (a) any matters referred to the Synod under Canon I.9.11  I.9.10 of The Episcopal Church, (b) any Resolutions to be proposed to the General Convention, and (c) any other resolutions to be considered by the Synod.
​
Explanation:
Canons I.9.10 – .11 (2022) provide:
Sec. 10. Within sixty days after each session of the General Convention, the Presidents of the two Houses thereof shall refer to the Provincial Synods, or any of them, such subjects as the General Convention may direct, or as they may deem advisable, for consideration thereof by the Synods, and it shall be the duty of such Synods to consider the subject or subjects so referred to them at the first meeting of the Synod held after the adjournment of the General Convention, and to report their action and judgment in the matter to the Secretary of the General Convention at least six months before the date of the meeting of the next General Convention.
Sec. 11. Each Provincial Synod shall keep minutes, journals or other records of its meetings, and shall transmit one copy of the records to the Secretary of the House of Deputies, and one copy to The Archives of The Episcopal Church. The Synod shall also transmit copies of any unpublished inactive records to the Archives.
 
The Ordinance reference to Section 11 appears to be a typographical error, which this proposal corrects.
